THERE'S REST o

There's rest beyond, there's rest for thee,
Thou weary toiling one
A rest Of sweet tranquility
Oh. lift the eye Of faith and see
Thy future rest begun.
There's rest from bitter gref and pain,
From grief aud pain and woe;
These ne'sr shall come to thee again
70 wound thy soul and rack thy brain
And toss thee to and fro.
There's rest from soul distrac'ing fear,
From fear and anxious doubt,
When threatening clouds do gather near
And all is hushcd Of mirth and cheer,
Aud all is dark without.
Beyond there is no loss Of friend,
Swec, eyes will never close
That life begun will never end,
And love with life will ever blend
Like c0lors in u rose.

We see the pale cheeks of women
and the flushed faces Of men {; and

OF them no more. We are with

w~hisperings of the sweet VOWS OF
eternal love as they lingeringly
part forever. Others are bending
over cradles kissing babies that
are asleep. Some r parting with
mothers who hold them and press
them to their hearts again and
again and say nothing, and some
are talking with wives and endeay-
oring, with brave words spoken IN
the old tone, to drive from their
hearts the awful fear. W. see
them part. We see the wife stand
ing in the door with the babe in
her arms-standing in the sun.
light sobbing ; at a turn in the
road a hand waves-she answers
by holding high in her loving
hands the child. He is gone and
forever.
We see them all as they march

He VIII Not be BOund-Results OF the I'M
provements.
WASHINGTON, July 16.--The Chief En-
gineer has received the annual report of
Captain f. H. Puffneer, U. S. Engineers,
upon the improvement of the Mississippi
from Des Moines raDids to the mouth of
the Illinois river. After describing the
dredging operations of the year and their
effect, Captain Puffner says:
The general result of the work on this
part of the river during the past nine years
is not encouraging. The river is so large
that the money appropriated was not
enough to build works of contraction in
sufficient number TO control the river 10
such degree as to enable an engineer to
predict what the result would be in depth
Of chanuel At many places good has been
done chiefly by limiting the number Of
channels, or by compelling the river at
low water to run through such narrow
bed that the navigable channel cannot shift
to any great extent. Atother places trou-
bles0me bars have been removed and
brought to a semi-permanent position,
where they are out Of the way.
EROSION has been largely controlled and
the movement OF islands il less; and the
banks are caving to q le'S degree than
formerly. But it cannot be stated that
the general depth Of the nayigable channel
has been increased There is no reason to
think that Congress will give = greater
amount of money in the future than it
has in the past. That sum, which has
been Oh an average less than 500, 900 u
year, is not enough to carry OH with sue
cess plan of permanent improvement
Ii would be better To altar the plan Of
work than to pretend to continue in the
present course"
Captain Puffner expressed the opinion
that under the circumstances stated future
efforts should he limited TO ailording tenn
porlry relief. lie proposes that hydraulic
dre,iges he constructed with which good
naviguble channel may he maintained.
While convinced that the permanent work
OF improvement ought to be carried. on to
completion, ne is unwilling to submit esti-
mates to which he feels certain no atten-
ton will be given. Instead, he estimates
for only $50, 900 for the maintenance Of the
present dredging machines to secure low
water channel for the last year.
